Özet

This Brief Report presents tested instructions for facilitating the Laughie (Laugh Intentionally Everyday) Laughter Prescription in a group setting. The Laughie is a rapid, 1-minute prescriptive technique conceived to encourage participants to harness the positive outcomes associated with laughter. The Laughie was prescribed to Turkish earthquake survivors (N = 20) 3 times a day for 2 weeks in a laughter intervention that was delivered by the first author, a nurse faculty member at Hacettepe University Faculty of Nursing, Ankara, T & uuml;rkiye. The report aims to describe tested instructions for how the Laughie prescription may be facilitated by nurses and health care workers to benefit participants within their communities.
